Chapter 414 - The Elites Are Ready
Hence , putting the Guilds interest before his own ... He decided to choose the knight\'s courage skill.
However the tougher decision was the one to be made between Skyfall and Mana legion . Although Skyfall was a broken skill that was a way to level a playing field by causing a genocide.
However , the time restriction on the skill was just a big red flag for Rudra.
He already had the Solar Beam that put him on the shelf for one month after a usage , which made Rudra realize that the value of skills that can become a core part of his skill set was wayy more important than a single flashy move that would stun the world.
Having the sun god\'s bracelet , and a high damage move in the form of Solar Beam , Rudra actually beleived that for PVE , a legion of 2000 tier 2 mana soldiers was better than one time mass destruction meteorite.
Hence after careful deliberation Rudra chose the Mana legion skill .
Hence finally his character pannel looked something like this...

Rudra was extremely satisfied with how his status pannel looked , as he had a big grin plastered on his face . With this his preparations for the war were finally complete , as he could go back and focus on the guild affairs , with less than 24 hours to go till the protection period went offline.
The last day of the protection period was a very chaotic day for the entirety of Omega , as many regional parties with a beef with each other , now prepared to engage in warfare.
The prices of commodities were at a all time high , as war brought with it a great influx of buisness , which was good for the Elites and their lifestyle industries.
Fatty was actually very regretful at not being able to fully tap into the bull market as he was busy with the Elite workforce on the various projects given by Rudra , else this would have been a great time to monopolize the market and gain a significant amount of wealth.
The forums were buzzing with speculation about the coming war where the Elites took on the Triads .
Especially after the news that Rudra and Karna had a major fallout , the overall market was not at all optimistic about the current scenario of the Elites.
Although the markets were generally in favour of the triads getting an upper hand , the betting was actually divided into 3 groups.
Group one beleived that it would be a overwhelming Triad victory , they were nearly 40%?of the people.
Group two beleived that this would be a long term seige warfare instead of one decisive battle , and betted that the war would take months if not years to steer to completion.
Their speculation was based on the fact that the Purplehaze city was one of the most fortified cities in Omega ... Taking down whose massive walls was not easy.
However even this faction beleived that after a prolonged war , the final victor would be the triads . About 20% of the population fell under this opinion.
Finally there were the proverbial gamblers and people who were twice Bitten hence extremely shy about betting against the elites .
Loosing thousands on betting on their downfall , they knew better than to judge the Elites by common sense. Hence knowing that the odds were not in the elites favour , they heavily gambled on an Elite victory.
Shockingly they comprised of nealry 40% of the population. Bringing the overall victory to defeat odds at 6:4.
The payout was not ridiculous like the previous bets on an Elite downfall , the reason being that the Elites had spent a year building a very ambitious wall surrounding the city.
Defense strategists and self proclaimed Omega experts analysed this to be a major advantage , hence this time the media was not hell bent on saying that the Elite defeat was inevitable , just that it seemed unlikely at the moment.
Rudra , who saw all this nonsense simply chuckled at the people who speculated that he and Karna had a fallout ..... However if he knew was karna was currently upto , he would laugh his @ss off .
-------
( Meanwhile , outside Purplehaze city )
Karna was currently not in guild robes , but a black hood , to avoid recognition , as he was having a secret meeting with Hao Mi .
Hao Mi had used the same technique to contact Karna that Rudra had used to recruit him all those days ago .... Which was using the direct message feature.
She typed in his ID name , and told her entire organization to keep spamming messages untill karna replied.
She had little hopes of him actually reverting back , however to her surprise he actually followed did .... Which strengthened her suspicions that Rudra and him had a major fallout .
She had stated in her message that it he betrayed the elites , she would pay him 5 billion dollars , plus make him the new mayor and leader of the dummy guild she placed to rule Purplehaze city.
It was a very sweet offer .... And she thought she was being very generous . Hence , when Karna showed up she said " Well , well ... Never thought I would have the honor to meet you as a potential ally , give guild master .... "
Karna clicked his tongue and said " Straight to the point traid , i don\'t have much time "
Hao Mi smiled as she said " In a hurry are we honey ... mmmm , I\'m sure you don\'t have guild work after the fight with Rudra , so what\'s the hurry ".
Karna said " Rudra that ba***** , after everything I did for the guild , he still treats me like an afterthought , I\'m done with his shit , I want respect , I\'m a better player than most around here ".
Hao Mi nodded " Shakuni that cocky lad doesn\'t know about how to give respect .... If he can\'t respect a talented triple medal winner like you , naturally he is unsuitable to be a leader , however I cherish you darling , i see your potential?... Come join me and I will make u a king! ".
Karna instantly said " You talk well ... But tell me your plan and let me judge for myself if it\'s worth it to join you ".
Hao Mi said " Not soo easy am i darling... I don\'t know if you are truly on my side yet , ofcourse I won\'t tell you my plan?, just like you haven\'t revealed any plans of the Elites either ... In not dumb boy , I\'ve seen more Christmas then you ... All you need to know is that when I unleash a flare , you will open up the northgate from the inside .... Make it an accident , make it a deliberate action I don\'t care. If it happens I will know for sure that you are on my side , and after our inevitable victory , I will reward you as promised , however should that little bit not happen , i will know that you are an Elite at heart , and Rudra\'s loyal dog ... Who would be punished for the insolvence of his master.
No point dallying here, you have a choice to make boy ".
Saying soo Hao Mi walked off .... Leaving karna alone in the place , however the moment she walked off from that location , she sent the conversation with karna , to Rudra . Her purpose was to sow discord .... And naturally Rudra was shocked when he saw the video
And since Karna did not tell anyone what he was currently doing , there was a chance for misinterpretation.
Rudra found himself on a crossroad where he never thought he would find himself, his scheming mind working against his rationale , he did not have a clarity about what to do , hence he decided to talk about it to karna directly , and then decide for himself.
